DeepPostures

This repository contains the code artifacts released as part of the following publications:

• /JMPB-2021 : Application of Convolutional Neural Network Algorithms for Advancing Sedentary and Activity Bout Classification, Journal for the Measurement of Physical Behaviour, DOI|Paper
• /MSSE-2021 : The CNN Hip Accelerometer Posture (CHAP) Method for Classifying Sitting Patterns from Hip Accelerometers: A Validation Study in Older Adults

Pre-Requisites

We recommend first installing Anaconda and then running the following commands to setup the environment. We also recommend using a machine that has GPU support, specially if you plan to train your own models. A CPU machine can be used if the goal is using pre-trained models to predict posture.

conda env create -f INFRA/CONDA/deep_postures_gpu_env.yml # for cpu use INFRA/CONDA/deep_postures_cpu_env.yml
conda activate deep_postures

Alternatively, you can use conda to install Python 3 and use pip to install the following rerquired packages.

conda create -n deep_postures python=3.6
conda activate deep_postures
python -m pip install "tensorflow-gpu>=1.13.0,<2.0" # for cpu use "tensorflow>=1.13.0,<2.0"
python -m pip install pandas
python -m pip install numpy
python -m pip install scipy
python -m pip install h5py

Instructions

• Clone the repository using git git clone https://github.com/ADALabUCSD/DeepPostures.git
• Navigate to the code directory of the publication you want to explore and follow the instructions in the README file there.
• If you face any problems/issues, please create an issue in GitHub issue tracker.
